      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-frequency, memory-intensive virtual server delivering massive RAM capacity per core alongside strong single-threaded processing performance.

      Memory Optimized

      The Microsoft Azure FX24-12ms_v2 is a memory-optimized server from the FXmsv2 family, featuring a dedicated Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 6 physical cores and 12 vCPUs running at 4.2 GHz. It is configured with 504.0 GB of RAM, providing a substantial 42.0 GB of memory per core, though it lacks local storage and GPU resources. Benchmark results highlight top-tier single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2249.0 and strong single-threaded compression speeds. Conversely, its Passmark memory score is positioned in the bottom 25%. This hardware profile makes the server highly cost-effective for memory-intensive, core-licensed applications, such as in-memory databases and Redis caching layers, where high memory capacity is required alongside strong single-threaded CPU performance.

      Workload Profiles

      1.2Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
